Hurled wood.

In boring a well or the farm OF
Mrs. Sarah Williams, some five miles
south Of Colusa, J. G. Frazier, who has
the farm rented, struck piece of
wood at q depth Of 10 feet. The
wood brought up by the auger was in
an excellent state of preservation, and
was pronounced "all oak" This place
is only so feet above the sea level, so
that the wood is 100 feet below the
oceans surface. If it was sunk there
when this valley was a lake or an
arm of the bay, 1t was in pretty deep
water. How long since this piece of
wood was in growing treeY The
valley, OF course, has grown, but with
out some CONFUSION of nature the
growth has been slow-not, perhaps
over one foot per century. Then has
IL been seventeen thousand years since
this oak tree grew In the shadow OF
the infants this Is nothing, but, meas
ured by the history of man, IL is In
deed a long space. --Cotnsa (Coi.) Sun.

Tbe Application of the RuIe

Some time since the wife of prominent
citizen OF New York city was trying to instill
in the mind of her 5-year-old- son what it
meant to be generous thus:
snow, Willie, dear, suppose mamma should
give you cake and tell you to give part of
it to Harry, and when you divided it one
piece was larger than the other; if you gave
1t to him that would be generous, but if you
kept it for yourself that would be selfish. Do
you understand itf"
The little fellow thought he did.
The next afternoon, wishing to test the eff
feet of her teaching, she gave Willie large,
juicy orange, saying:
snow, Willie, take this orange and divide
il generously with Harry"
When, to her surprise, the child (whO was
paSSionately fond of oranges) gave it back to
her, saying, with roguish twinkle in his
bonny blue eye:
"Here, mammal won't you please give it to
Harry and tell him to divide it generously

"Ain't got any, but I'm railroad man my

"Where do you want to go tos"

reaching for the bell rope, "I'n do the best I

this Is down grade along here. think the

A minute or two later the seedy looking
man was jumping off into the snow"
YOU'RE very kind" he said, ito carry me
even this far. But seems we're both rail
road men, you know, couldn't you change
your mind and take me further?"
SORRY can't oblige you," replied the con-
ductor, waving a ego ahead" signal to the
engineer, "but the fact is, that we have to be
very particular since congress has got to
passing laws governing railroads. Under the
law the most L can do for you is to give you

Gen. Grant and the Interv ever.

Gen. Grant had a strong aversion to being
interviewed, in the newspao per sense of the
word. An incident occurred III Syracuse
during the presidential campaign of 1850
which first revealed to the writer the genial
side of Grants nature. The ex-president and
Senator Conkling were Just bringing to q
clio Q their famous series of campaign meet
inIs for Garfield and Arthur. A correspond
ent who lad az Unpani-d them on their tour
through tbs state ventured to ask Gfr.
Coni1ling III Gen. Grants presence for MS
opinion as to Garield's chances Of carrying
New York With aggravating sarcasm EIr
Conkling begged to lie excused from making
guesSes for the delectation of the general
public" Cen. Grant looked at Mr.. Conkling
steadily for a few seconds and then re-
marked to the correspondent in a half apollo
getic tone, "The senator Dies not seem to have
his guessing cap on this morning. l, how
ever, do not object to hazarding a guess or
two on the result Of this campaign I guess
that this state will go for Garfield and Ar

SfaYe KirkeS of Norway.

When we had passed through the mag
nificent gorges about Husum, climbing
always higher and higher, as we faced
the dashing waters, and last looking
over the carriole wheels at splendid
foaming fall in deep abyss, we came
cut upon plain and saw the Church of
Bozgund. Its peaked gables rising in
tiers one above the other, and covered
from ridge to ground with shingles, like
a dragon S scales, were outlined against
the clearest blue sky, and with its drag
on finals at every point, like Chinese
temple, it stood, the strangest object one
might expect 10 find in that lone noun
tain valley. This architectural freak is
precious relic of the twelfth century
that the Antiquarian Society of Christi
ana now owns and preserves as an ex-
ample of the old stave kirkes that were
common IN the earlier days, before the
plague robbed Norway of half its inhab-
itants and left these parishes dcsolate.
1t is preserved intact, the pine shingles
getting the deeper and richer brown
with every year and every renewing
coat of varnish, and the interior !. dark
well, lighted Only by air-hOles high up.
In the crowd of shIngled gables one can
trace Il cruciform shape, but with the
queer little outside gallery running I'M
der the caves that so nearly reach the
ground, the quaint and bulging domes
at front and rear and the doorway
carved with an intricate interlacing de-
sign, ana Il Runic inscription scratched
by chance Just within the portal, it is
